Just picked these up. I'm super stoked as these are my first rattan pieces.
The seller told me the table tops had been replaced with oak, so those will have to be changed.
Anyhow, it'll be fun to fix 'em up, can't wait until they're done.

Thanks to everyone for posting your cleanup and restoration tips, they definitely came in handy. She's still got a long way to go, but there's a huge difference with a Murphy's Oil Soap wash and some orange oil.

I tried to use just the sudds from the from the MOS, applied 2 applications of orange oil, and washed the cushion covers. Next is the "super cleaning," getting all of the dirt out of the little knooks and cracks, more orange oil, a beeswax finish, and custom covers. Oh, and that table top is killing me

Didn't expect to find one of these here! Mrs. 8FT always wanted a rattan aquarium so she's happy & that makes me happy too.
It was a yard sale find yesterday with a Mid-West price...$20 Just have to clean it because they had a turtle in it instead of fish.

Wow, lightning strikes twice in one month. Another yard sale find. This one is larger and more elaborate. Purchased from a former US serviceperson who brought it back from the Phillipines. Will probably keep this one and sell or trade the other one now. Don't have room for both.

Agreed, Newtown is ridiculous, but that's the price you pay to walk into a store and take home the rare furniture you want without scouring the earth for months/years, getting up on the weekend before sunrise to go to swapmeets, carboot sales, yard sales, thrift stores, church stalls, markets etc. And then there's ebay, gumtree, craigslist etc...
nice to look at though!!!

Yeah, we don't buy from there just go and check out the cool stuff and get ideas. I just picked up a real nice art deco style lounge suite today for $140 from an op shop, not realy tiki but looks real cool and to good to pass up.
